Springs sent two people to the local hospital for treatment of their injuries,
according the Russell Springs Police Department. Heather Rowe, of Columbia, was
driving a 2008 Chevy Malibu and attempted to pull out from the eastbound exit
ramp of the Cumberland Parkway onto US 127, and in doing so, entered into the
pathway of a southbound 2010 Toyota Corolla being driven by Tracy Appleby of
Jamestown, police said. Appleby’s vehicle struck the Rowe vehicle in the
driver’s side before both vehicles came to rest. Both Rowe and Appleby were
treated at the scene by Russell County EMS and were then transported to Russell
County Hospital. A passenger in the Rowe vehicle, Annette Row, and a passenger
in the Appleby vehicle, Wendell Appleby, were not injured. Sgt. Robert
Pritchard investigated the wreck.

http://www.lakercountry.com/2019/09/new-initiative-for-crime-victims/#respondFri, 13 Sep 2019 13:37:45 +0000http://www.lakercountry.com/?p=2178The Kentucky State Police, the Justice and Public Safety Cabinet, and the federal Office of Justice Programs, within the Department of Justice, announced a new initiative on Thursday that will provide trained advocates at every KSP post in the state to support and assist victims of crime.

KSP is among the first state police agencies to implement
this program on a statewide basis.

The program, called Victim Advocate Support Services, is set
to launch this fall with a dual purpose. Advocates will administer care to
crime victims – or those involved in traumatic events – connecting them with
immediate resources, such as mental health services, crisis intervention or
legal support. These skilled professionals will also serve as liaisons between law
enforcement and the victim, simultaneously helping victims navigate the system
while allowing detectives to focus more efficiently on the details of the case.

KSP has begun interviewing and hiring victim advocates and
will begin offering services as soon as the hiring process is complete.

While prepaid debit cards and gift cards remain popular for
scammers to use to steal from Kentuckians, AG Andy Beshear said seniors in
Boone, Franklin and Greenup counties sent cash to scammers posing as a computer
repair technician, a family member in jail and a government official awaiting
grants.

Kentuckians victimized by scams are urged to file a
complaint with the attorney general’s office online or by calling 888-432-9257.

To stay up to date on new and trending scams, Kentuckians
can sign up for Scam Alerts. To enroll, text the words KYOAG Scam to GOV311, or
